Sustainability along the entire value chain

For many years now, we have been dealing with topics such as recycling in the sense of a sustainable circular economy. In our new plants, we are setting standards for the use and generation of renewable energies with photovoltaics and combined heat and power plants. And last but not least, by making our drives as energy-efficient as possible, we also support our customers in achieving their climate targets.

Our sustainability strategy for today and for the future

We are aware that much of what we have realized to date in our company at the sustainability level and are currently planning can only ever be an intermediate step. That is why we never see our efforts to work sustainably as completed. Rather, they are part of continuous and company-wide processes that must always be improved and expanded.

At SEW-EURODRIVE, sustainability is therefore the basis of our corporate actions and affects the entire value chain within the company:

  • People
  • Products and services
  • Supply and raw material chains
  • Production and business processes
  • Ethics and governance

For a forward-looking company like SEW-EURODRIVE, sustainable action with vision is a special charge and challenge. This is why sustainability is more to us than just a trendy buzzword. It applies not just ecologically, but economically and socially.

We are aware that much of what we as a company have achieved so far in terms of sustainability can only be considered a step in the right direction. This is why we focus our efforts at working sustainably and are always part of an ongoing process that requires continuous improvement and expansion.

This is what makes sustainability a central tenet of our corporate culture. A corporate culture that is part of everyday life at all of our locations and with which we set clear examples for others. A corporate culture that builds on fairness in our cooperation with all of our employees, partners and suppliers.

It is vital to us that our employees be invested in all plans and projects and implement them consistently. This shows how firmly the concept of sustainability is anchored in our company's culture.
